Sales for The Witness surpass its predecessor Braid by a huge margin

It looks like there’s still a market for puzzle games between gamers, as The Witness scored some big sales when it released last week according to developer Johnathan Blow.

He said that the sales for The Witness were strong enough in its first week that it surpassed his previous game Braid’s whole year sales, and it made all of his money back.

The first-person puzzle adventure costed Blow the entire income of Braid, which made him a millionaire back then so he can finish development. He even was in debt before the release so these sales were helpful for him.

Blow said this success ensures Thekla Inc.’s next project will command a similar budget. But until then The Witness is now available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
